5x08 – Glee and The Final Snap
Rachel and Finn's House – West Village – Sunday Night
"How does Jimmy even think he can get away with this, you and I haven't even seen him since the last bloody trial, all he has is the letter and it was only one" Finn lectured as he paced the back garden. Santana had just told Finn and Rachel about Jimmy's lawyers plan to get Jimmy off the attempted murder charge. The plan was to convince the jury that Jimmy ad Rachel had been having an affair and they had planned to run away together and that's why he had taken the children.
Finn noticed a look pass between Rachel and Santana and he immediately stopped pacing and turned to his wife.
"What was that? Do you have something you have to tell me" Finn said, narrowing his eyes.
"Santana can you give us a minute" Rachel whispered. Santana nodded swiftly then rushed inside and closed the glass doors behind her.
"Santana what's going on?" Quinn asked as the group walked over to her. Santana watched as Rachel and Finn started arguing before turning to the others. Santana quickly explained to them what Jimmy's lawyers were planning and Quinn and Mercedes quickly put the extra pieces together.
"Oh god, she never told him did she" Mercedes gasped, shaking her head. Puck, Sam, and Brittany looked at them confused.
"Doesn't look like it" Santana muttered, sharing another look at Rachel and Finn who were still arguing on the grass.
"Told him what" Puck asked, annoyed.
"Rachel went to visit Jimmy in Prison after the second letter, she wanted to make it clear to him that he wouldn't ever have access to Rose, Henry and Mason" Quinn explained. They all glanced over at Finn and Rachel who were still arguing, not realising anyone was watching them.
"You have got to be kidding me, why did she think that was a good idea. All she did was aggravate him so when he got out he decided to kidnap them" Puck argued, throwing his hands up.
"We all tried to talk her out of it" Mercedes reasoned. They had all tried to show Rachel that it was a bad idea, but she was adamant and after Jimmy's letters stopped, Rachel figured Jimmy had listened to her.
"So, you all knew about this and said nothing" Brittany asked, giving Santana a cutting look.
"We tried talking her out of it" Mercedes repeated, tamely.
"You could have told Finn, he would have talked her out of it and they now wouldn't be in this mess" Puck argued, waving his hand to the garden where Finn was now pacing the garden with his hands in his hair.
"Rachel didn't know this was going to happen or she never would have done anything" Santana snapped, as they all turned to watch Rachel and Finn. None of them had ever seen Finn look so angry.
"Bit late for that" Sam snipped, rolling his eyes.
"Guys we shouldn't be watching this" Quinn said inching behind a curtain, so Finn and Rachel couldn't see her.
"Where are the kids?" Mercedes asked, suddenly realising despite how angry they were Finn and Rachel wouldn't want their children to see them his way.
"Upstairs, they won't hear anything" Brittany answered. When Santana had taken Rachel and Finn outside Brittany had sent the children upstairs as she had a feeling that things were going to get ugly.
They all quickly jumped away from the door when they saw Rachel and Finn march towards the door. Finn slammed the door open and began to leave the living room without another word to anyone else.
"Finn, please stay we have to talk about this" Rachel called after him. Finn span around before he left the living room.
"What is there to talk about! You lied to be for months and now because of your mistake Jimmy might actually walk, he could actually come after the kids again" Finn shouted.
"I'll make sure that doesn't happen Finn" Santana injected, Finn turned to glare at Santana.
"Like your word means anything to me right now Santana" Finn snapped. Santana recoiled at Finn's tone, she had never heard him so angry.
"Finn please, I never meant for any of this to happen" Rachel cried, wiping her tears hastily, never taking her eyes off Finn.
"You never do Rachel, yet it does anyway" Finn dismissed, shaking his head before leaving the living room.
"FINN!" Rachel shouted, just as the front door slammed close.
"I'll go after him" Puck said, before going after Finn.
Rachel and Finn's House – West Village – Wednesday Morning
Three days later, it was the day of the trial. Finn had barely spoken to Rachel in those three days and she didn't see it getting any better when they had to come face to face with Jimmy.
Rachel walked into the kitchen to see her father helping Mason with his breakfast. Will and Emma had flown into New York to watch the children and support Rachel and Finn. Rachel had convinced Marley and Malcolm not to make the trip as well because she didn't think she could handle having all her family around her especially when things were so tense between her and Finn. Thankfully for both of them none of Finn's family had decided to come.
"Thanks for being here Dad" Rachel said, with a small smile before kissing Mason on the head.
"Of course, now I don't want you to worry about a thing. Emma and I have the kids, they'll be fine" Will reassured her. Emma nodded in agreement from where she was helping Rose and Henry with their bagels.
Rachel nodded "I know they will"
"Rachel, Sweetie, no jury is stupid enough to believe his lies. Jimmy will back where he belongs… isn't that right Finn" Will reasoned, looking over at Finn, who had just walked into the kitchen.
"That's right" Finn replied, although at all convincingly "The car's here"
Rachel nodded at Finn and with a quick bye to his children, Finn left the room. Despite Will and Emma being there, Finn's mood wasn't any better and they had both noticed.
"What's going on with you two, do you want me to talk to him?" Will asked, looking over at Rachel who quickly shook her head.
"Dad, everything is fine. We're just worried about today that's all" Rachel replied. It was one of the reason Rachel didn't want her family around because she didn't want to have to explain again the mistake she had made.
"If you say so" Will sighed. Emma gave him a look that Rachel knew from her own marriage, it was Emma's way to tell Will to drop the subject.
"I do, bye dad"
"Bye Sweetie" Will concluded. Rachel walked out the house to where Finn was already waiting inside the car for her.
"Finn, can we – "
"Let's get today over with and then we can talk" Finn replied, before turning towards the window and away from Rachel.
The Courthouse – Wednesday Morning
Half an hour later, Rachel and Finn were walking into the Courthouse. All their friends were already there waiting for them outside Courtroom three. Even though Finn wasn't really speaking to Mercedes, Quinn, and Santana they all knew they still had to be there for the couple. They could sit through Finn's steely glazes if Rachel needed them.
"Hey Guys" Quinn said, glancing over at Finn who was avoiding all their gazes.
"Hey, thanks for being here" Rachel replied as Mercedes gave her a tight hug. They could all see the bags under her eyes and the tension between Rachel and Finn. Finn ignored the small talk and walked over to the coffee cart.
Quinn nodded firmly "Course"
"How are you guys?" Mercedes asked, glancing at Finn who was talking to Puck, the only person in their group that Finn was actually talking to.
"Not good, like really not good. We've barley spoken in days and if we do its only because the kids are around" Rachel sighed, heavily.
"I'm sure he's just nervous about the trial, I'm sure once its over, you guys will be able to move past this" Quinn reasoned, although they could all see she didn't really believe her own words.
"God, I hope so" Rachel replied, shaking her head as she watched Finn talking to Puck. Eventually Puck and Finn walked back over to the group. The tension was obvious to everyone and nobody knew what to say.
"I imagine it will be starting soon" Quinn said, nervously not sure what else to say. Luckily for the rest of them Santana walked over to the group with the State's Attorney.
"Finn, Rachel this is the state attorney he wants to have a word with you both about what you guys should expect in court" Santana explained. The pair nodded and followed the lawyers to some where more private to talk.
"Wow, things are really bad between them" Sam noted.
"Finn has a right to be angry" Puck snipped. Unsurprising to all of them, Puck was on Finn's side with the whole best while the rest of them were trying to be there for both of them.
"We're not saying he doesn't but what is he going to do be angry at Rachel forever" Santana reasoned. Puck rolled his eyes at her, he knew that Santana was trying to play everything down because it was all partially her fault.
"I would be" Puck muttered.
"Well we're not Finn and Rachel, they have to get past this" Quinn dismissed, giving Santana and Puck both a hard look to stop arguing.
"Guys, drop it we need to be there for Finn and Rachel. That's what's important" Sam reasoned quickly before Rachel and Finn walked back over to them all.

"So basically, Jimmy's defence is that you were having an affair, so we basically need to show the jury how crazy that is" The State Attorney, Mr Hale, explained to Rachel and Finn. He quickly gone over his plan with Rachel and Finn and what they should expect in the trail.
"My word isn't enough" Rachel said, crossing her arms. She couldn't believe that a judge was even buying the notion that she would willing go anywhere near Jimmy.
"It will go a long way but really we need to show you two as a united couple, a happily married couple. I'm sure that will be easy for you. Jimmy's lawyer is going to try and bait you both so the best thing to do is stay calm and above it" Hale explained. Rachel and Finn shared a quick look, while they weren't themselves they both knew they could pretend for the sake of the trial.
"We can do that" Rachel nodded.
"The jury won't fall for his lies, but we need to show that Jimmy is the angry one and not you two" Santana encouraged. She had been working closely with the State's Attorney while she couldn't sit with him at the table, she had helped him see what kind of person Jimmy was and how they could use that.
"That won't be hard, Jimmy's a monster that deserves to rot in prison" Finn sneered, shaking his head.
"That's what I'm here for" Hale concluded, ignoring Finn's tone. He assumed it was too do with the nerves of the trial.
"Its going to be fine guys" Santana encouraged.
"We don't need a pep talk Santana" Finn snipped, giving her a hard look.
"I'll give you two a minute" Santana said, nodding her head to Hale who followed her away from the married couple.
"Finn if we're going to look like a happy married couple then you need to be able to look at me" Rachel argued. Finn looked down at Rachel and gave her a sarcastic smile.
"Happy" Finn said, sarcastically.
"Not at all, are you" Rachel snipped, not helping the heartbroken look on her face.
"Let's just get this over with" Finn said, shaking his head before walking away from Rachel.
The Courtroom – The Courthouse – Wednesday Morning
An hour later, Rachel and Finn had sat through each of the lawyers opening statements. Jimmy's lawyer had tried to paint him as a heartbroken man who had been played by Rachel. Rachel wasn't sure if the jury believed what they were hearing, and Rachel didn't like it. She knew what Jimmy was like and could see through his lies, but these people were strangers and they might be easily led. Rachel so badly wanted to reach out and take Finn's hand, but she wasn't sure if he even wanted her touching him and that broke Rachel's heart more than anything.
"So, Jimmy why don't you tell us when the affair started?" Jimmy's Attorney, Mr Rodes, asked as he walked around the front of his table and leaned against it.
"Alleged affair" Hale interjected. The judge nodded and then sent a look to Rodes to change his phrasing.
"When the alleged affair started" Rodes corrected, holding his hands out for Jimmy to answer the question.
"It started with letters as first, I wanted to know how my daughter was doing and Rachel understood that, I don't think Finn did" Jimmy explained, very calmly despite all the lies he was telling.
"When was the first visit" Rodes asked.
"About a week after the last letter, I could see how unhappy Rachel was and we bonded over it, after that Rachel would visit at least once a week, whenever she could get away" Jimmy continued, he sent a quick look to Finn and Rachel that went unnoticed by the judge but not by them.
"Here's a copy of the visitors log at the prison to back up that up your honour" Rodes said, passing a few sheets of paper to the judge. Hale had already seen them and had counter paperwork to show that the signature on the visitor's log was not Rachel's.
"So, when did Rachel tell you she wanted to leave Finn" Rodes asked, once the Judge had glanced at the log and passed it to the guard to show the jurors.
"It was after the first time we made love, that's when we made the plan" Jimmy replied, looking over at Rachel with a leering smile.
"And what do you think happened, why did Rachel back out of the plan" Rodes pressed.
"Finn obviously got to her, and now I might go to prison because I fell in love with the wrong person" Jimmy declared, trying to look sad but to Finn he just came across smug.
"I'm gonna be sick or punch him in the face" Finn whispered. Rachel reached across and took Finn's hand in her own and squeezed tight, she was feeling the same way, but she knew they couldn't react, that was exactly what Jimmy wanted.
"I'm sure the jury would like to be sure this really happened Jimmy, what proof do you have?" Rodes wondered, smirking at Hale.
"Besides the love in my heart… I know that Rachel has a tattoo high on her inner thigh, a blue butterfly" Jimmy exclaimed.
"That's all your honour" Rodes concluded before jumping off the table and taking his seat.
"We will take a break and come back in fifteen" The Judge dismissed them all. The judge rose and walked back to his chambers. Once Jimmy had his lawyer had left the room, Hale turned to Rachel and Finn.
"This is perfect, Jimmy played his hand, we can disprove this quick…. You have the tattoo don't you" Hale sighed. Rachel nodded sadly.
"How the hell does Jimmy know this" Finn demanded. Rachel was on the verge of tears, so Finn took her hand while looking at Hale for answers.
"Jimmy was in your house, its disgusting to think about but Jimmy could have… looked maybe…. He took the photo, for all we know he planned this as his out from the beginning" Santana reasoned, slightly disgusted. Hale nodded his head in agreement as it was the only thing that made sense.
"How does that help us now?" Finn asked.
"Jimmy wants to show he knows you, then let's help him prove that" Hale reasoned, with a knowing smile. 15 minutes later everyone was back in court and it was Hale's turn to question Jimmy. Hale remained in his seat as he looked towards Jimmy.
"So, Jimmy, according to you, the affair between you and Rachel went on for a few weeks, where you talked about the kids I'm sure and Rachel's interests" Hale said.
Jimmy nodded "Yes, all of that"
"Great so what are Rose, Mason and Henry's middle names" Hale asked, calmly.
"Excuse me" Jimmy startled, sending a quick look to his lawyer.
"What are Rose, Mason and Henry's middle names, I'm sure that come up in conversation, so what are they" Hale pressed, sending Jimmy a patronising smile.
"I don't know why that's important" Jimmy said, looking nervously at his lawyer.
"Maybe not but I'd like you to answer the question" Hale shrugged. Everyone watched Jimmy as he ran his hands through his head.
"Uhmmm…."
"Let's fine let's try another one, when is Rachel's birthday" Hale smirked.
"We didn't talk about things like that" Jimmy snipped. Rachel looked over at the jury who were watching jimmy with rapt attention. It looked like a good sign to Rachel.
"Then what did you talk about?" Hale asked, acting confused "You spent all that time together and didn't talk about the children.
"We talked about Finn, and how she was afraid of him" Jimmy argued, leaning closely in his seat to look at Hale. Jimmy was starting to get angry, everyone could see that including his lawyer.
"Rachel spent all her time, talking about her husband, you didn't talk about anything else at all" Hale argued.
"We didn't only talk" Jimmy sneered, glaring at Hale, and ignoring the pleasing look his own lawyer was sending him.
"Ah yes and I'm sure this is where you saw the tattoo, was it on the left leg or right" Hale wondered, he remained calm and relaxed despite how angry Jimmy was getting. Jimmy glared at Hale but didn't say anything.
"It's fifty, fifty chance Jimmy" Hale pressed.
"It's the left leg" Jimmy answered. Hale nodded before rising from his seat and walking over to the judge with a phone in his hand.
"Here's a picture of Rachel, your honour from a holiday last year, with Finn, as you can see the tattoo is on the right leg" Hale explained, handing a phone to the judge "Sorry it's on a phone, your honour, but we only had a few minutes to prove Jimmy's statements were false"
"Thank you, attorney that will be all" Judge Rinder snipped, before passing the phone back to Hale.
"Yes, it will, thank you Jimmy, you can step down" Hale concluded with a smile at Jimmy. He walked back over to his table before turning bac to Jimmy "Oh by the way the children's name are Rose Quinn, Henry James and Mason Noah Hudson"
Finn and Rachel's House – West Village – Wednesday Evening
Two hours later, Rachel, Finn, and the group has sat through the warden's testimony and Jimmy's father who said, Jimmy had told him all about the affair during his own visits. It was become clear to Rachel and Finn that Jimmy had planned this from the beginning. He wanted his children back (or to punish Rachel and Finn) and would bring down anyone to get it. After Jimmy's father, the judge had dismissed everyone for the day and Finn and Rachel had shared a silent cab ride home.
"How did it go?" Will asked as Finn went straight upstairs and Rachel walked into the kitchen and took a seat next to her father.
"It was okay, I think. Santana said the District attorney knows what he's doing" Rachel explained, tired. It had been a long day and Rachel knew she wouldn't get any sleep with things still so bad with Finn.
"And what about you two" Will pressed. Rachel jumped off her seat and grabbed herself a bottle of water.
"I told you we're fine dad" Rachel sighed, she could see Will was about to say something else, so she quickly jumped in "I'm going to check on the kids"
Rachel left the kitchen and made her way to the playroom where she found Rose and Henry both cuddled up with Finn on the floor while they told him about their day. Mason was asleep in the play crib next to them.
"So, then we played on the swings, even Grandma Emma went on them" Henry enthused, waving his arms about almost hitting Rose in the face although she didn't notice as she was too busy telling Finn about the painting she had done.
"She did!" Finn beamed, pulling Henry closer.
"Hey babies" Rachel greeted. She gave Rose and Henry a quick kiss but remained standing instead of seating with her family.
"Hey mommy!" Rose cheered. Luckily for Finn and Rachel none of their children had noticed the tension between their parents.
"Finn can we talk for a second" Rachel asked, shyly.
"Not right now" Finn said, shortly not bothering to look at her as he answered.
"Finn I really think we need to talk" Rachel pressed, walking further into the room. Finn turned his head to finally face her.
"I said not now!" Finn snapped, making Rose and Henry jump. They never heard their father raise his voice. Finn went back to talking with the children and Rachel quickly left the room. she rushed into the bedroom and had the door closed before the tears began to fall.
The Courtroom – The Courthouse – Thursday Morning
The next day, it was Lydia's turn to take to the stand. She was vital for the State's attorney as she had been the one Jimmy had reached out to and she could prove that Jimmy had made no mention of a supposed affair with Rachel or what their plan had been.
"Lydia, why don't out go through what happened that day" Hale said as he leaned against his table, trying to appear relaxed.
"Jimmy cornered me at my job, I was really surprised to see him, I knew he'd just got out but didn't think I would hear from him. He told me he really need to talk to me and I was stupid and believed him. That's when he took me to the apartment and the children were already there. He said he'd taken them because they belonged with us and we needed to be a family" Lydia explained, calmly. Hale had already prepped her on what questions to expect.
"And at any time did Jimmy mention his plan with Rachel, or the supposed affair, or the letters" Hale added.
"None of it, in fact he got angry when I mentioned Finn and Rachel" Lydia replied, sparing a glance at Jimmy who had a hard look on his face, Jimmy knew, just like everyone, that Lydia was the flaw in his plan.
"Lydia, you've known Jimmy and in some ways Rachel, a long time. Do you believe they had an affair? Do you believe that Rachel was afraid of Finn and wanted to leave him, for Jimmy?" Hale asked.
"Your Honour, relevance" Rodes interjected, shooting Hale a look, he just smirked in reply.
"Maybe none but I would like to hear Lydia's answer" Rinder replied, he turned to Lydia for her to continue.
"I don't believe it for a second. Rachel and Finn are one of those rare couples that just love each other and make it work, and Rachel is a much more strong and intelligent woman than me, she wouldn't lower herself to Jimmy" Lydia exclaimed. Rachel gave Lydia a small smile of encouragement.
"Thank you, Lydia that's all" Hale concluded before sitting back down at his table as Rodes stood up and walked closer to Lydia.
"Lydia, you say that Jimmy was angry when you mentioned Rachel, but couldn't that be because she had gone against their plans" Rodes reasoned, with a slight shrug.
"I doubt it" Lydia scoffed.
"But you don't know for sure" Rodes pressed, giving Lydia a hard look "Answer the question Lydia"
"No, I don't know for sure" Lydia admitted, looking away from Rodes stern expression.
"And you don't know that you weren't just Jimmy's way to get out of town, or a way to talk to Rachel without Finn finding out. You don't know for a fact that you weren't just a porn for Jimmy and Rachel to get out of town because before you gave Jimmy a chance to tell you, you called the police" Rodes lectured as he paced in front of Lydia making sure to look at each other jurors.
"Jimmy had plenty of time to tell me" Lydia rushed out, everyone could sense Rodes was trying to trap her into a corner.
"Or maybe Jimmy just didn't care enough to tell you, Jimmy's a private person maybe you just weren't important enough" Rodes argued.
"If I'm not important enough in Jimmy's life, trust me, I'm absolutely fine with that" Lydia snapped, rolling her eyes but slightly annoyed with her self that she had let her anger get the better of her.
"Guess you'll have to be, that's all Lydia, you can step down" Rodes said, he smirked at Hale before taking his seat.
XoXo
After Lydia's testimony the lawyers had done their closing statements and then the jury had been dismissed. The group had decided to go to the canteen for some cheap coffee, but they had only been there twenty minutes before they had been called back to the Courtroom as the jury had reached their decision.
"The Jury came back quite quick that has to be a good thing right" Quinn said, helplessly as they all took their seats.
"Let's hope so" Mercedes replied. The lead juror stood up to hand the verdict to the judge. Despite the tension Rachel grabbed Finn's hand and she was slightly pleased when he didn't pull away from her.
"Has the jury reached a decision, that they all agreed upon" Judge Rinder commanded. The juror nodded solemnly.
"We have your Honour" One of the Juror's replied. Rachel squeezed Finn's hand and spared a glance at him and he gave a small reassuring smile.
"And what is the verdict"
"On the count of attempted murder and kidnapping the jury find's the defendant… Guilty" The Juror announced. Everyone on their side let out a sigh of relief and Puck actually cheered as Jimmy slumped his seat and put his hands over his face. Jimmy's parents the only people on his side didn't looked shocked but they did look upset.
"Jimmy, you will remain in custody until sentencing, guard please take him away" Rinder concluded before banging his gavel and dismissing the room. While Jimmy was lead away the group began to leave, and Rachel and Finn shook Hale hand.
"Thank you for everything" Finn enthused.
"I'm happy to see justice served" Hale replied. He gave them one last smile before leaving the courtroom. Rachel turned to Finn with a small smile.
"You ready to go home" Rachel asked.
"Yeah, we should get home to the kids" Finn replied, Rachel had hoped once the trial was over Finn's mood was going to change but Rachel could see it would take longer for Finn to get over what Rachel had done.
Rachel lowered her head "Finn…"
"Let's just go home" Finn said before following everyone out of the courtroom. Rachel let out a loud sigh before following behind him.
Finn and Rachel's House – West Village – Thursday Evening
An hour later the group had made their way back to Finn and Rachel's house. While they were all pleased with the outcome, there was still tension between the group as Finn wasn't talking to any of them, including Rachel.
"Hey guys, great news! How you holding up?" Will enthused as everyone walked through the front door and into the kitchen where Will and Emma were waiting.
"Fine dad, yeah it's a great relief" Rachel replied, as she watched Finn closely. He looked like a bomb about ready to explode.
"The kids are all in the playroom, they've been fine all day" Emma added, carefully. She wasn't sure what else to say as the air was thick between them all. Rachel nodded at Emma with a small smile.
"Thanks again"
"We should have a drink to celebrate" Sam suggested.
"Absolutely!" Will beamed. He walked over to the fridge to find something to toast with.
"What is there to celebrate" Finn asked, sharply, turning around to face them all with a hard look. Rachel walked over to him, but Finn put his hand up to stop her.
"Finn..."
"I'm serious, what are you guys even doing here. The trial is over go back to your lives. I don't want you here" Finn raged.
"That's not fair Finn" Quinn said, helplessly.
"What's not fair, is being lied to for months. Having your wife and children at risk and having no clue about it because your wife and 3 women you have know for over 20 years did nothing" Finn argued, glaring at Quinn, who recoiled at his look. Puck put a comforting hand on Quinn but didn't say anything.
"Finn don't blame them, this is my fault" Rachel replied.
"Nope I don't think it is. You guys all band together when things get tough, so be prepared to be blamed together" Finn ranted, staring down all four women "I always defending you guys when Puck, Sam and Brittany said you prioritise each other over them but their right, you do. We're the second thought"
"Finn, we made a mistake" Santana snipped.
"Yeah, you more than most" Finn sneered, glaring at Santana. Brittany stepped forward to give Finn a pressing look.
"Finn, we all need to talk about this" Brittany reasoned.
"Don't kid yourself Brittany, nothing will change… you know what you should all just leave, I really don't want you here" Finn fumed.
"Finn!" Puck cut in, although he wasn't sure what else to say. Finn had a point and a right to be angry.
"Just get out!" Finn shouted at them all before marching upstairs without another look.
Rachel and Finn's House – West Village – Thursday Night
Rachel had said goodbye to everyone, including Will and Emma who were staying in a hotel nearby, got Rose, Henry, and Mason settled in their rooms for the night then went into the bedroom to finally try and talk to Finn. She knew things couldn't go on this way any longer.
"Finn, I get that you are angry, and you have every right to be, but we need to talk. Things can't go on this way" Rachel reasoned as she watched Finn undress and throw the suit he'd worn all day on the ensuite floor.
"Not tonight" Finn sighed, looking away from Rachel as he grabbed some blankets from the cupboard.
"Then when Finn, its been a week of this. If you need to yell at me then yell at me. I deserve it for lying to you"
"Its not just the lying Rachel" Finn admitted.
"Then what is it Finn?" Rachel pressed, she moved closer to Finn, but he backed away from her.
"I don't want to talk right now, its been a long day, a long week and I don't have the energy to talk to you right now" Finn replied. He picked up the blankets and started leaving the room.
"Where are you going?" Rachel asked, softly.
"I'm gonna sleep on the pull out in the office tonight, I need some space"
"Finn please don't do this" Rachel said, trying to grab Finn's arm. He moved away from her but this time he looked just as heart broken as she did, instead of angry.
"I'm tired of doing everything for you Rachel" Finn admitted before swiftly leaving the room and leaving Rachel alone once again.
